A Two Dollar Thrift Shop Makeover
April 27, 2014
I purchased this oak wall magazine rack recently at the thrift shop for $2.
I painted it with Old White Annie Sloane Chalk Paint, distressed it and added a small piece of stained bead board to the back with nails. Both the bead board and the rack were waxed with clear soft wax.
Of course I can use it to hold magazines...
But what about to display plates and platters?
Yay or nay?
How's thrifting been in your neck of the woods?
Sharing is caring

I like it!!
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteSeriously? $2 ???!!!
ReplyDeleteI had something like this I had salvaged from the side of a table I made over...was saving it for the camper, if we ever get around to working on it. Now? I have now Idea where I saved it too!!!! I'd have bought that cute little catch all for $2 bucks!
YES. I. WOULD'VE.
Like what you did with it. Pat
Thrifting hasn't been too good in Lawton, OK lately! Love your rack. Perfect for plates.
ReplyDeleteGreat save! I love it with the plates and platters :)
ReplyDeleteI say Yay! Love it with the plates too. Thrifting has been pretty good here, went on Friday and found some good deals.
ReplyDeleteI love your rack and where you have it makes it perfect for plates. The last month has been great for thrifting, I discovered a place I had never been and I have bought several pieces of galvanized metal buckets, a coal bucket and a wall pocket, I even found a great milk can, these were all priced below ten dollars except the milk can and I got it for twenty dollars. The best deals though were a little white cabinet that fit perfectly on a wall in my mud room. I think it was probably made in the late 1800's or early 1900's, and I don't have to do a thing to it. It has been a good month for thrifting around here and I'm going back Wednesday. In some ways I hope I find more and then again I really don't need anything else, but it is so hard to pass up a good buy on stuff you love.
ReplyDeletePlates and platters-yes. Thrifting is good here. I just got a very old chippy white rocking chair. Also two concrete birdbaths. Hope you are well and happy. I have not been by in a while but am revving back up now that my garden is blooming. xo, olive

Super cute Carlene! Way to think out of the box. Love it! I have a large platter that matches the two round plate you have hanging above it. A thrift find. Found a few treasures on my St. George get away with friends.
